Itinerary and highlights
Rio de Janeiro has a singular coast with beautiful mountains, rainforests, beaches and wild islands. If you want to see this from a different perspective, our hawaiian canoe (also knows as polynesian canoe) tour is the perfect choice. Starting at Urca Beach, we are able to visit many points of interest inside Guanabara Bay. With ideal conditions, we will head to open sea and visit Fora Beach, just beneath the amazing Sugar Loaf mountain, where we will stop to cool down and swim for a while. Great exercise and unforgettable experience.
